That money included $500,000 out of a total $1.2 million in Equity PAC's war chest from liberal mega donor George Soros, through the Open Society group, who has spent millions nationwide to promote district attorneys and ballot measures that are lenient on prosecuting crimes and sentencing minimums.
In addition, Equity PAC's efforts to prevent the Austin police from hiring more police officers during a severe staffing shortage and crime surge were aided by several other prominent liberal groups.


The liberal advocacy group 1630 Fund, which Politico has described as a "massive dark money network", poured $100,000 into the push to oppose more police hiring and funding.

This a-hole HATES America. He won't be happy until we are all on our knees.



Well, this American doesn't get on his knees for anyone!

Here’s the deal for those who aren’t local. This was a HUGE amount of money going to APD. With governor Abbott’s edict that cities can’t reduce police funding this enormous increase would be wired into the city budget for the foreseeable future every fiscal year. Likely coming from fire ems libraries and parks. This was defeated by 68% of the voters including fire and ems unions.

Wow Soros is just flinging $500K here and $500K there to make sure progressive people/policies stay in place.
He just gave $500K to keep Newsome in office.
